Wire hanger? You can find it almost anywhere if that is what you mean it's usually pretty cheap.

Is it really glass or plexi? Real glass can be risky because moisture can build up on the inside and ruin your print. Also if it falls off your wall some how the glass breaking can shred your print.

the only other posters I really want this year are The Avengers and Frankenweenie... and maybe Dark Shadows but I don't know, every time I see Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins, I chuckle... just seems so awkward to me.

Is your Prometheus poster the real deal or a reprint? Just curious, trying to find this one and ebay seems to be the only one that has it.

Thanks!

Insane.....

That is crazy! I wouldn't have paid that for a trimmed. If I win the lottery I'm definitely buying the original Drew Struzan artwork. It's well over $100,000 and signed.

Found these prints and ordered them. Hope everyone likes them. Various artists doing their interpretations for Moon.

Mr Joshua are all those poster sized (24x36 or 27x40) or just smaller prints (11x17, 7x10)? Some of those are pretty cool.

edit: Never mind I didn't realize they all had different sizing options.

This isn't a poster, but I'm curious what people here think about this little piece of "art" I made. Those are the things a local closed Blockbuster used to show the space where a certain film (DVD and/or Blu Ray) would go.

[Show spoiler]

It's all one piece, just bad cell phone pics form different angles.

[househead]

Mr. Joshua how did you find all those posters? Really like the Moon ones - very smart. The first Thing one is cool too.

Diggin' that Leslie Vernon poster up earlier too. The illustration resembles the Dude Designs.

Yeah, well, honestly? It says I'm a freshman to me.

Don't get me wrong, those cards are nifty, but I don't think the taping them to the wall is elevating them in status much. Maybe check out Goodwills to see if any of those multi-image picture frames are kicking around.

Everyone's a critic.

Thank you for the honest criticism and advice.

But I know one of the pics makes it look like it's taped to the wall, but it's actually sticky tack on the back holding it to the wall (still very freshman though lol). The tape however is holding the thing together from the back, so before it was on the wall, it's like a pattern of tape following each one on the back. I still have about 50 or so, so I always have a chance to correct any mistakes I made with a brand new design with some new materials.

Wow... 635 on the Stout! I think that is fantastic news, hopefully with this kind of run it will land in the hands of some people who really want a stout rather than all the scalpers. I'm not a big enough Star Trek fan to take a run at it and as a matter of fact none interest me a whole lot. I'd like to see the Struzan, would love to have something from in my collection.

Yeah it's a very large run so all the flippers will no doubt be undercutting each other until it's at a reasonable price to obtain. I'm not sure if Mondo will sell any of these online and if they do i hope they put this Akira up by Silence TV.
